Uncle Sam Contracts for the Kccley
Remedies.
A substnntlnl testimonial to the vuhio
of the Kcoloy euro for inebriety mid
kindred discuses comes from the Gov
ernment of the United States in the
Bhnpo of a contract for use of the bichlo
ride of cold remedies In twonly-oight
National and Sluto Soldiers1 and Sailors
Homos. The Kuoloy company has of
fered its remedies to the government at
the price to agents , and has in addition
agreed to glvo n coureo of instruction to
the .physicians who will huvo charge of
administering the treatment at these
homes. This Is in the nature of n char
, i ity and Is similar to the arrangement
made with the Medical Aid Association
of Chicago.
Negotiations have been on foot for
fcotno time , and yesterday Dr. Kooley
received the following letter from the
Governor of KIUIMIS , notifying him of
the acceptance of his offer by the au

What Dr. B.VF. Monroe says of The Keeley Treatment.
BLAIR , Neb. , Feb. 5 , . 1892. Mr. , Syracuse , Neb. ,
Dear Sir : Your letter oj Feb. 2nd just before me. * * *
There are many physicians throughout the land experimenting
and claiming they have the cure , and many a poor victim will
be laid away from such experiments , as did Dr. . Dr. ,
physicially and mentally was in no worse condition than Mr. ,
neither was he in as bad shape as many another patient that
has been at the Keeley Institute , and been radically qured.
You are aware doctor that we use nothing in our whiskey as an
emetic. This is not the case with the so-called "sure cure"or
fake institutions throughout the land , New York alone has 80
sure cures. The more the merrier , as none of them will ever
come to the front. There isn't a saloon keeper in the land but
what can use a pieperation to sober a man , but they may not
have to resort to wine of antimony or sulphate of zinc to do so.
Mr. ought not to have died. Had he reached the Keeley
Institute , as he started to do , he would have been all right to
day. The Keeley Institute is safe , as you can assure your
friends. B. F. MONROE.
BLAIR , Neb. , Nov. 27 , ' 91. Hon. , Culbertson , Neb. ,
Dear Sir : Your favor of Nov. 24th just at hand. I am always
glad to hear from the boys. * * Right you are when you
say that the Keeley Institute is the biggest thing on earth to

THE BEI : . Few people know that one of t'uo
most beautiful as well as romantic spots In
Nebraska Is to bo found in Knox county.
Tbo journey to It lies down tbo picturesque
and fertile vulloy of the Bazilo crook and in
the summer time , when the foliage softens ,
the rugged outlines of Iho bordering bluffs
nnd. the air is laden with tbo odor of bloomIng -
Ing shrubs and wild flowersa moro delightful
drlvo , except for the precarious crossings of
tbo stream , could uot bo imagined. The
lower portion of the volley loads ono through
the old Sioux Indian reservation and tbo for-
tllo lands of the vulloy are taken by ibo mem
bers of the trlbo In severally. The road
through this part Is not built or "laid out"
like other roads. Tbo Indians have Ideas of
tholr own about thoroughfares. Instead of
building upon the road as do bis white
brotborn tbo noble red man builds bis homo
where the locality suits him and then runs
the road to it , BO that the highway zig-zags
down the deep valley , running by every
house wherever located , and in tbo distance
of eight miles crosses the stream nearly a
acora ot times.
Tbo government has built for those
"wards" very comforiablo two-room cot
tages , but they ara only used for winter
quarters. In ibo summer the Indian can no
moro bo kept indoors and Itopt alive than can
a llsh llvo without water. The white walls
of the descried dwellings rolled no idea of
llfo wllhin. If tbo tourist will take the
trouble to look around ho will spy from some
neighboring clump of trees iho curllaamoue
ascending from a wigwam. If one will tbou
take thu trouble to look up this summer
habitation ho will find Iho tepee pitched in
the most plcturosquo of nooks , a clear rip
pling stream meandering by , or n cool spring
bubuliug from tbo hillside and dancing ever
tbo many colored sands and pebbles on Us
way to the scarcely loss rapid or restless
Bazilo. A couple of ponies and a cow or two
will bo found cropping the luscious grasses
wllbln easy reach , A bog can scarcely bo
looked for. Tboy are too easily converted
inlo lood , ana besides It requires consider
able bother to food and cave for swine and tbo
Indian does not take Kindly to bolbor.
Tbo chilarco will bo found rolling
In iho grass or chasing great yellow builor-
Illos. Tbo women , and very often the men ,
will bo squatting within iho loepco engaged
iu gosalp.

If you have a father , brother , son or friend you wish to save from any of these habits send him for
IMMEDIATE RELIEF AND ABSOLUTE CURE , to

lass , or a loose wagon tire tightened , Is too
tempting.
On the west the scenery Is moro rugpod.
The Bazilo swoops close under the foot of a
high and precipitous bluff. Deep , thick
foilago tides the eminence until the top is
reached ; where outcroppings of soap stone
may bo easily soon. The blult rises In height
until It roaches a point opposite the govern
ment bridge , where It suddenly ends in a
beetling crag of Jagged rocks as forboding in
appearance yet ns picturesque as some Khino
side feudal castle rock.
The romance of this cliff was told'to the
writer by ono of the old men of the tribe of
the Poncas , which now occupies a reserve
west of the Nlobrara river , llvo or siif miles
boyond.
Many years ago. before the white men had
sought this land , except to trade for furs and
robes with tbo Indian , the trlbo occupied the
land for miles on either side of the swift
flowing "Horsetaill" ( Niobrara ) . Grass
grow in plenty and game roamed tbo prairies
at will. Tbo Indian and his pony were both
fed In abundance. The Great Father at
Washington , who had for many years kept
good watch ot his red children ot the prarios ,
forgot there , and in an evil day sent "Scar-
face" to bo agent over thotn. "Scarlaco"
treated tuem badly , and wickedly deceived
them Into signing a treaty by which a great
portion of their territory was surrendered to ,
the white man , and tbo tribe was to bo removed - "
moved to "tho land of fire , " ( Indian Terri
tory ) , A young chief , who had boon much
with the whites and who bad learned to
speck tnoir language and road it a little , and
who was awuy on the bunting trail at the
time the council VIM hold , upon returning
discovered the trick nnd endeavored to ex
postulates with "Scarface. " It was ot no
avail and when tbo soldiers came to escort
tbo tribe to the tar-off and dreaded "land of
lira" the young chief advised thorn not to
move , and slipping away during the night ,
not oven taking a pony , in order to avoid sus
picion , ho was to maUo bis way the nearest
fort nnd Inform the commandant of the out
rage upon bis people.
Boforn leaving ho had gene to his own
tepee to take a farewell of bis young squaw
and Infant papoose , and to adjure her lo ro-
rnalu until his return.
Within two days the soldiers , by the
direction of the agent , seeing that
the Indians did not proposu to move , com
menced to tear down tholr bouses and load
their simple effects Into tbo wagons , Tbo
younger members of the trlbo murmurodat
the action of the soldiers and would have
fought them , but the counsel of the old
chief who had great confidence In the fair
ness and justice of tbo Great Father and In
the mission of bis son at tbo distant fort ,
prevented an outbreak. Days passed on ana
the preparations for departure were hurried
to completion , yet uo sign of a return of tbo
young cblof. At last tbo day came. With
sadness the old chieftain , bis confidence still
unbroken , advised bis trlbo to obey until
succor from the Great Father should come ,
and the long caravan wended its way over
the bills southward , where the trlbo were to
parch with fervor for so many months DC-
fore they should see again the green bills ,
breatbo the fresh pure air and quad the clear ,
cool waters of their native region.
Long after tbo. winding wagon train and Its
escort had passed from vlow , and when tbo
shades of night ware fatt settling down over
tbo tbo deserted hills , a young squaw , with a
papoose clinging to her breast , crawled
stealthily from the brush and gazed toward
the loutb. It was the wife of the young
chief , and she. bad obeyed his command to
remain until ho returned. But how could
shol Not a remnant of the once populous
village of her people remained , except the
smoking : dobrls of that which tbo soldiers
could uot carry away , and which bad boon
built In piles and burned. Not a mouthful of
food except the sustenance of tbo wild grass ,
or roots. Not a covering uxcopt the shelter
ot the stars.
Day followed night , and night followed
day , and the youpg squaw know that she was
falling failing becauio of tbo lack of food
for herself , and sbo bad to sustain two lives ,
her own and tuo dearer ono at bcr breast.
Nearly two weeks passed and , a moro
skeleton , the stood upon tbo slto of
village , a small skeleton tugging , be
tween Its hunger cries , at her breast , bor
black hair streaming In the chill winds of
the bleak November day , Lor eyes bellow ,
wild and tiauuted with that loon which can
only bo brought out by the Incessant knaw-
\
ihg of hunger , wailing for the return of him
who bad bade her wait.
At the end of tbo second week , realizing
that the evil was drawing near if the hus
band did not return , she wandered eastward
In the direction bo had gene , plucking and
eating as she went tbo grasses nnd tbo tender -
dor sprigs of the summer's growth upon tbo
trees , and occasionally endeavoring to hush
the crying of the babe by crooning over it an
Indian lullaby.
Toward night she reached tbo bank of the
swift and foaming Horsetail. Beyond it was
bcr bravo , beyond it was hope. She slid
down tbo low bank and feeling Its chill
waters on her limbs drew back , but the cries
of the famishing napooso nerved hcrto go on ,
and she braved the wild , rushing waters.
How she gained the opposite bank ono can
only imagine , but she did gain it , and cold ,
chill and soaked she full fainting
upon tbo bank. Upon awaking
sbo found her own clothing
frozen to her and the babe deud in bor arms.
A driving storm was riding tbo swift wind
across the drear bills. But she arose and
clasping the dead child to her bosom stag
gered on , on through tbo snow , ever bills ,
through deep ravines until sbo reached the
rocky crag at the mouth of tbo Bazilo.
When the young chlof returned ho found
the tribe gene , tbo homo of his childhood
destroyca and every vostlgo of the village
blotted out. Keen upon the trail , ho sot him
self to ascertain what knowledge 'ho might ,
and soon discovbrod that tbo souaw who nad
kept his tcepoo bright had remained behind.
Patiently , and with the precision which bad
gamed him early renown among the warriors
of bis tribe ho traced them here and there In-
their wanderings. Tbo broken twigs told
, the tale of their hunger. Still ho labored on.
Tbo trail WAS followed to the
rlvor , found again upon the other
sldo , and followed slowly but surely stop oy
stop through tbo rugged bluffs vhlch here
border the Missouri.
At last standing upon the ridge ho spies
upon the outer edge of tbo crag bis squaw ,
her pappooso In her arms , gazing down the
btoad valley of tbo great river in tbo direc
tion whlthor she know ho had gono" . Ho
hastened forward , a great Joy thrilling oycry
liber of his being , and , laving bis hand
upon her arm and gazed into bcr facu with a
glad smile.
The smile died when ho looked Into the
glassy eyes of his frozen bride , and saw the
wan pinched fnco of his dead babe In bor
arms.
Rising ho gazed long , long upon the scone
about blm , once so dear to the young hun
ter , but now stripped of all that made Ufa
happy , and gazing upon tbo ragged rocks
which lay piled in brokou masses at the
foot of the cliff ho began the death
chant of bis tribe ; Low at
ilrst , It cradually arose to a pitch which
made It echo from the hills across the valley ,
and whllo at Its height tbo young ct.lef sud
denly arose and with a wild cry leaped to his
death below.
Years have passed slnco then , ana whllo
many people have visited 'this Wild and
romantic spot , and have with great effort
carved their names upon the rocks , few have
beard the story ot the early tragedy.

Host posts of the Alaska Commercial com
pany and still a largo and valuable store is
kept there. There are but a dozen or so
white residents at the place , and most of
these return to San Francisco In the fall
wnoro they roinalu until tbo following spring.
The wife of Iho storekeeper bora is the only
wbito woman between Sand Point and Una-

Is but ono other for over 500 miles to tbo
east , tine came hero three years ago a bride
and is now the mother of two bouutilul chil
dren , born on PopolT Island , It must not bo
supposed that she comes from a class of people
ple who spend tholr lives In Iho backwoods ,
for she was brought up in California's great
metropolis , and is a woman of roflno-
mont and culture. She is but ono
of a number of women who have fol
lowed husbands and lovers into ibis outoos-
at civilization , and cheerfully boar tholr
share of the privations which are always en
countered in the first settlement of a coun
try. On the ! 20lb of October the last vessel
which will visit Sand Point until some time
in March , weighed anchor and sot sail for
San Francisco , taking away all but ono wbito
man and this little family , who are loft to
spend tbo dreary months of winter far from
friends ana thu comforts of civilization.
Sand Point is located about halfway be
tween this line , to which I referred in a
former letter as dtaiding southeast Alaska ,
and to the westward , and the western limit
of the territory. Ill has a splendid harbor ,
and is located in tbo heart of a coal bearing
country , wnoso surface also Indicates ex ten-
civo mineral deposits. The Island upon
which It is located presents moro tbo ap
pearance ot gradually undulating pralria
than any portion of lAlaska that 1 have seon.
and the whole anrfaco Is covered with a
thick growth of luxuriant grass , under which
Is found soil of a dark sandy loam , from throe
to llvo feet deep.

Two Plucky Unfortunates.
A party of four loft Unnlaslca last summer
in a small boat to prospect for gold at a point
forty miles away. Arriving at their destina
tion two of the men loft camp , and after
traveling n distance of about Uvonty miles
came suddenly upon a beur and wounded it.
It at once attacked them , and before it could
bo killed succeeded in crushing the log of ono
of the men , leaving It n munglcd and sTial
tered stump. The man was unable to move ,
and his companion was ooligod to leave him
and return for the rest of the party. It was
not until the third day afterwards that bo
was found , lying upon tbo beach , and tbo
rain which had been pouring down all tbo
time had drenched him to the skin. During
all these hours his nerve never forsook him ,
nnd In a few weeks the surgeon of a govern
ment vcssol at Unalaska pronounced him
fully recovered , but ho will go through life
minus a limb.
Last spring n sailor , who had run * away
from a wballn ? vessel lying near the shore
in Boring sea , In nttcinplinB to roach a set
tlement was frozen so badly that when lound
oy a. natlvo ho was unconscious. Ho was
taken to u hat near by and nursed with all
the care his now found friends could give
him. A few weeks afterwards ho was tukon
on board the United States revenue cutter
Boar , which happened to call at the village.
The ilesb on ono of his limbs nearly to tbo
knee was'so badly decomposed that it fell off
wbilo ho wag being removed to the ship. Ho
suffered a thousand deaths , but bore up with
heroic fortitude , and although ho will go
through llfo on ono log bo is npparently nouo
the worse off In other respects than If ho had
never bud such a bitter experience.
Three miles from Sand 1'olnt , on the west
sldo of Popoff strait , Is the island of Ungn ,
another of the Shumagin group. It contains
about 150 square milos. The general charac
ter of tno country is similar to that of Popoff
Island , but contains a few mountains whoso
tops are covered with snow during eight
months of tbo year. The surface of iho"
lower lands Is covered with tbo sumo luxuri
ant grass , whch ( Is found ou Popoff Island ,
and In othqr respects It will compare favora
bly with It.
/i < , Unsu uiid IU 1'eoplo.
On the southern sldo of tbo Island , and
aboqttilghti'en miles from Sand I'olut , Is tbo
village ot Unga. It Is ono of U > o oldest trad
ing posts of luo Alaska Commercial company ,
which still has a store hero,1 * and carries a
stock of 4,000 or fo,000. Tbulr agent receives
a salary of $1,000 u year , is furnished a com
fortable liouso to live in , and but ; all his ex
penses paid , The company's agent at Unga
is a good representative of the men who uro
entrusted with tbo buslnoas of this great cor
poration throughout Alaska. In nearly every
instance they are men of education , rollno-
mont and shrewd business qualifications.
Tboy have drifted Into this country from u
natural doslro to rough It , and In some locali
ties ttiev are as widely separated from civili
zation us If they had uovcr known what it
meant ; their only communication wllh the
outside world being through the company's
ships , which bring thorn goods and return with
furs but once each your.
Uuga has a population ot about UOO all told ,
of whom but u half dozen are wbito males ,
who live with natlvo women. The native *
are called Aloutos from tbo fact that they
llvo on the Aleutian islands , or , moro prop
erly speaking , tbo Aleutian urchlpolago.
Many ol the Aloutos arc found , however , on
tbo main land uud islands further to tha
east. Jn ray Intorcouwo with tuosa people i
failed to notlcb any material difference In
tholr appearance or customs from those of
the natives of southeast Alaska , and like
tliOHo people they follow hunting and fishing
for a livelihood. Tholr long association with
the Kusslans , who occupied this country for
BO many years , docs not seem to bavo worked
any noticeable Improvement la the matter ot
civilization ,
Tbo village of Unga , like most of tbo ua-
tlvo lettlomonls , contains a largo number of
balfbroodi. They are a mixture of tbo na
tives ot tbo country and Russians , and are
called credos. Tbobavo the appearance of
being a distinct nice , for , as a rule , they are
very llght-comploxionod , and a child of na
Alouto mother and Russian father looks like
a full-blooded Caucasian. Many of tbo women
are handsome , and some of them are relined
and gcntool. This latter class nro the rare
exception , however , and are only
found among1 these who have
"
spent some "years in a convent
in San Francisco. The close association of
the Creoles with the natives of the country
make them in reality the same pooplo. Their
morals will compare favorably with the na
tives of southeast Alaska , and virtua among
the women is the rare exception. Their nal-
ural inclination to indulge in intoxicants is
very strong , "quas , " their favorite beverage ,
being made from a mixture of molasses or
sugar and bops , which is put through a pro
cess of fermentation , and" which takes the
place ol the "hoochlnoo" which gives tbo
southeast Alaska nntlvo such a glorious
drunk and a bid head.
